Il “modernista progressista” gode nel criticare il suo gruppo di appartenenza, nel tempo ha sviluppato una sua visione storica imperniata sull’oppressione etno-razziale dei bianchi. Cosa succede quando un tipo del genere da minoranza diventa predominante? Tutto si trasforma in guerra culturale. Invece di compromessi ragionevoli tra coloro che, ad esempio, vogliono livelli di immigrazione più alti o più bassi, la battaglia è tra razzisti e anti-razzisti. Schierarsi per l’omogeneità e la stabilità etnica non è percepito come un’opzione politica ma come una visione ristretta ed escludente. Tutto è venato dal moralismo pseudoreligioso. Il MP ha radici nel passato, incarna uno spirito di anti-tradizionalismo che è emerso nella cultura occidentale tra il 1880 e il 1930. Il cosmopolitismo è da sempre la sua filosofia guida. Diversamente dal socialismo o dal fascismo, questo modernismo di sinistra si adattava bene al capitalismo e alla globalizzazione. Negli anni sessanta, la sensibilità MP si è estesa da una piccola élite a una parte molto più ampia della società borghese grazie alla diffusione della TV e il crescente ruolo delle università, assumendo il ruolo di sensibilità dominante nella cultura alta. Dopo questo periodo di diffusione MP cerca non solo di persuadere, ma di istituzionalizzarsi, alterando le basi del liberalismo e passando da una generica tolleranza della diversità ad una sua imposizione. Se qualcuno non ama il kebab, il nuovo ordine morale gli chiederà di celebrarlo comunque, o come minimo di silenziare la sua avversione. L’atteggiamento MP si è lentamente trasformato in una forma coercitiva di liberalismo senza radici nella tradizione giuridica occidentale. MP ha gettato le basi per un nuovo ordine morale - una ridefinizione del sacro e del perverso - che ha bollato la restrizione dell'immigrazione ad atto malvagio e razzista. Negli USA il modernista cerca di consacrare i campus universitari a spazio dedicato alla cura meticolosa della diversità coercitiva. A partire dal 2010, la destra populista ha per la prima volta sfidato esplicitamente i tabù sul sentimento anti-musulmano, mettendo in pericolo la libertà religiosa dei musulmani conservatori. il conflitto si è poi esteso in altre materie, a partire dai problemi migratori. Oggi in molti paesi la battaglia politica è essenzialmente una guerra tra etno-tradizionalismo bianco e moralismo antirazzista.

            I’m a good example as someone who is a quarter Latino and a quarter Chinese but is considered white by most people, whereas some of my relatives with the same mixture are seen as Hispanic. Appearance plays a central part in this even if race isn’t ‘real’:

            The paintings in the Uffizi, carvings on Mount Rushmore, statues in Pall Mall and faces in Hollywood classics preserve a white self-image which defines the ethnic majority. The hybridized whites of the future will need to forge connections back to these images, and tell a story which helps them navigate their ethnic past.

            Could genetic engineering permit hybridized whites to ‘whiten’ themselves, much as Latin American elites have tended to do through selective marriage?

            The Amish, ultra-Orthodox Jews, Orthodox Dutch Calvinists, Hutterites, Finnish Laestadian Lutherans, Quiverfull Calvinists and Mormons will be a much bigger demographic force in a century than they are now. Already, the ultra-Orthodox are a third of Jewish-Israeli first-graders and by 2050 will form a majority of observant Jews in America and Britain.
